130mb downloaded for this patch.  lulz

I notice that trend between this and WoW; what takes two gigs for WoW takes about five or six for STO.

New tribble update changed the text on the character screen.

KDF is now "These are the battle records" and Romulans are "This is the legacy"

KDF one is slightly better, since then it is a broad term that can include failures.

Do you have problems with that loading screen taking a little longer to load than before?
I find it pretty immersion breaking when I see half loaded people appearing on screen :P

You mean BOFF's on the character section screen? I get it with Special BOFFs, like Jem'hadar or Breen, I need to select a different character and go back for them to load.

Or do you mean after choosing a character? If you mean after selecting a character, no I have not.

That. But it happens with all of them.  It's not even restricted to the boffs either, it's all of them including the ship and my toon.

Tribble patch today is 'bigger then normal' so they're doing a pre-patch

http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=645491

Nearly 4Gigs, and thats with On-demand patching. I bet its mostly Audio files, VO for the Romulan missions.

Ok i was wrong, the size isn't because of Audio, its because of textures

Are these texture updates visibly recognizable?  I'd like to see screenies.

They added detail textures to some, and just upscaled others.

Also, they made it possible to claim a level 30 ship as a Romulan, so I got a D'deridex, and then decided to take a picture of it at 5760x3240

While I can't fault them for their (new) level of detail, the modelling and texturing on that warbird isn't very accurate.

Flying next to the Warbird in a defiant makes it feel even more impressive. The ship left of me in the bottom picture is actually that big, it is not closer to the camera, its the same distance

The model actually is fairly good.  We all know why the textures are how they are.

Hard to check anything out ATM, heh - the launcher's borked. For all of Cryptic's games, if the word on STO's forums is right.

Has there been any attempt to convert these beauties for BC. Esp the Catian Carrier.

Seeing as straight ports of STO models to BC breaks both the EULA of STO and the rules of this forum, then the answer is no, however there is nothing to say that someone wont make these ships for BC from scratch.

Has any STO model been made from "scratch" for BC?
